…delay to pay their employees especially when it is December. I am not even going to complain about bosses who don’t think their workers deserve an end of year bonus so they can enjoy the festive season better. My beef is with those who delay to sign for the December salaries and end up paying their workers long after Christmas. What kind of Christian does this? How on earth do you expect me to celebrate the birth of Christ on credit? What will be your excuse on judgment day surely? Do not even talk about the November salary because many of us do not even remember receiving that one. If you are a boss and you are reading this then you know what to do tomorrow morning. …always ask me for their ‘Christmas’ around this time. I do not even know where this subtle begging culture came from but I am sure it is not what Jesus died for anyway. I am talking about those folks you meet after ages and after they have run out of useful things to say, they ask you about their Christmas. What kind of nonsense is this? Do I look like Father Christmas to you even after shaving my beard? Look mate, I am also still trying to figure out whether I will manage to devour lots of meat on that day without getting a stomach upset. I have not heard you in my thoughts at all. Please present your Christmas concerns to your boss or pray until something happens. …ask me whether I will be going to the village for Christmas. What exactly is wrong with people these days? Since when did the festive season become a geographical one? And so what if I was going to the village for Christmas do I need travel documents from you or what? Listen, Mr. Inquisitive, whether I go to the village or not is none of your business. I also hope you know that my village is not only accessible during the Christmas season neither is it written anywhere that Christmas in the city is forbidden. So please don’t waste my time with pointless questions, I have some serious shopping to do. Oh and by the way, Merry Christmas to you. ...think that because the year is ending, all their bad habits will end too. I always meet people suffering from annual stupidity. Yes that is the only way I can describe this condition. The condition that makes one think that because they year is ending and a new one is coming, everything will become new. These people who think life has a button that allows one to reset their factory settings are always talking about how in the new year they will stop smoking, stop drinking and even stop procrastinating on the endless projects they brag about. What is annoying is that by the second week of January everything will be forgotten only to be said again when 2015 comes to an end. How I wish these people could simply stop being lazy and just do it! Let me help you hate by sending your suggestions to thehater2009@gmail.com or text me at +250 788 545293
